The AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.8G ED Lens rounds out Nikon's series of f/1.8 primes that blend both a versatile fixed focal length with a bright maximum aperture. This wide-angle lens incorporates aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements to compensate for chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to render sharp, clear imagery. A Nano Crystal Coat has also been applied to lens elements in order to reduce flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.

Complementing the optical design is a Silent Wave Motor, which contributes to fast, quiet autofocus performance. Its internal focusing design further enables quick, exacting focus control and full-time manual focus override is possible by simply turning the focus ring in any mode.

Designed for use with FX image sensors, this lens is also compatible with DX sensors where it will provide a 36mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture supports working in low-light conditions and also enables greater control over focus position for shallow depth of field imagery.

Extra-low dispersion glass and aspherical elements help to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to maintain a high degree of sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.
